Will tonight really have one of the most surprising Tribal Councils in Survivor's ten years? We'll see about that.

The big story this week, though, is the merge. And finally, after Jeff did this fake out a couple of weeks ago. But now it's safe to pick up the expectations we were asked to drop, because the merge is happenings, and things will get interesting.

For one, the Villains come in with two advantages, both of which not everybody knows. Russell, of course, got JT's hidden immunity idol, in what is perhaps the dumbest move in the show's history. But what he doesn't know is that Parvati also has a hidden immunity idol, one she legitimately found.

And then there's Sandra, who's vowed to flip sides the instant a merge happens. "I'm a hero, not a villain," she said, and now the merge is happening she'll get a chance to reconnect with Rupert, who she competed against in Pearl Islands. But this is Survivor, and it's not easy sailing.

Tonight's episode promises an unprecedented play from one castaway, and that'll lead is to that surprising Tribal Council. Really? We'll see. Survivor: Heroes vs Villains returns tonight from 8pm on CBS.
